l SAMPLE maken.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, :Bnirrin BRAYsi-mw, a citizen of New Zealand, andy a resident of Fort Atkinson, inthe county of Jefferson Vand State of Wisconsin, have invented ya new and useful Improvement `in Sample Takers, of which the followingis aifull, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements lin A'apartabout a 'central opening, asl clearly sampletakers, and it consists inthe combinations, constructions and arrangements herein described and claimed.

Anfobject of my invention isto provide a sample taker adapted to be used with a milking-machine for taking, for testing, orv

other purposes, a predetermined proportion- Iate part of the milk being obtained.

yA further object ofmy invention is to provide a device of the type described in which provision is made for diverting into a bottle of an ordinary construction, a desired proportionate quantity of the total quantity of milk'- being) obtained.

Afurther object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described in which provision` is made for instantly assemblingifthel various parts,l which can be disassembled with equal rapidity to permit' the 'same beingcleaned. l

A further object of my invention `is to provide a device of the type described which is relatively simple in construction and operation, not liable to easily'get out 'of order, and thoroughly practical commercially.

Other objects and 'advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the-invention will be part-icuy 4 u withl an' outlet tube 12 which communicates with the central compartment 2 and leads larly pointed out in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming partof this application, inwhich-l f Figure l is a side elevationillustrating an embodiment of the device as operatively ap Figure 2 is a section along the line 2-2 of Figure 1, V'

VFigure 3' is a detailed plan tion ofthe device, and U v 'Figure 4 isa section along the line 4 4 of Figurefa v I view of a portacle.

In carrying out my invention, I provide a tubular member which is preferably formed of a single casting having a body portion l fashioned with a central inner Abore or compartment shown infFigure` 3, is'placedwithin the enlarged portion 3 and rests upon'the shoulder 4. The proportion of `the total quantity of milk 'obtained thatis taken by the device for testing vor 'other purposes isv determinedby the Vnumber of openings 6 which are formed through'the disc 5, ask will hereinafter be more fully set forthly The disc 5 is fashioned with a central `socket 7 located in its under surface.l A central opening` 6 communicates with the center of the socket T., but the openings@ are not in communication with the latter.

Acentral opening 8 connects the inner bore or compartment 2 with a recess 9 which is formed in the lower end of the body portionl. A. tube 10, provided with an exteriorly extending flange ll intermediate its length, has its upper end disposed within the central socket 7`which is formed in the disc' 5 and` whichx is/of such length that the flange 1l then rests-upon the inner bottom lsurfacev lof 'the compartment 2, while the to a releaser or receptacle (not shown). A 'screw threaded portion 13v provides a means for connectionwith'the releaser or recep- A. cap 14 ofthe shape clearly shown in the accompanying drawings is placed -in posi-- tion to close the upper end of the enlarged 'portion 3 of the inner compartment 42. A

gasket l5 is disposedbetween the cap14 and thewall of the tubular body portion-1 -ito prevent leakage.- The cap 14 is held iny position by a pair of springs 16 which are bent into the shape shown in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings, and are maintained in position by screws 17 which. are Ascrewed into opposite laterally .extending lugs 18 at diametrically opposite points.v

The'latter, as will be noted, are formed interallywith L.the ,tubular .body pension 1'. The cap lts fashioned Wthan inlet tube 20 have v'a Vbead 2,1 at `its end.'v They end of the rubber tube 22 is stretched and pulled over the beadedfend of the'inlet .tube 20 and will remain in place on account of the resiliency of the materialwcomprising the rubber'tube. v

An annular lrecess 25 is -itormed in the lower end ofthe tubular body po'rtioiil and is adapted to receive theneck of bottle 23 which is of an ordinary construction. .A

gasket 24 is oi' the bottle and the wall of the 'recess y25 to preventl leakage; i if From they lforegoingV description of' the various parts of the device, vthe ,operation thereof may be readilyv understood.- rlhe tube 22' communicates withifthe teaticups i and the milk `passing @therethrough will ,en-

ter the enlarged portion -3 of `the tubular compartment 2. lt will be observed `:that

only the central opening 6 is in.4 comvmunication with the =tubef10 which .dependsiwith inthe neck otthebottle 23. The quantity of milk .passing through Ithe central opening '6' into the bottle 23 can thereforebe accucompartment 2 andthence through the ouftlettube 12 to the releaseror receptacle, while l /19 of the total quantitywill pass through the tube 10 intoA the bottle 23.;v

The device fis so formed that the capmay be "placed in position `by merely pressing against the same, and the springs .16 will yield'suff'iciently to permit the 'movementwof the cap into"posi-tion.l The cap will then lbe held by the 'springs 16.r Likewise, the neck )of the bottle will be heldwithin :the recess 25 bythe springs'l'andl isinserted therein by pushing the'neck' ot the bottle ,against the outturned ends of the springs' which will yield to permit the .entrance of the i-neck, of.A

thelbottle into ,the recess 125. i

One of the main advantages of the ,device lies inV the,` :tact that varieusparts can bev instantlyl assembled .and as duickl-yg-idisassemlbled. 'It will be noted -th'atifthe screws 17 .aref iformed with '.lon'gitudina-l'f t heads 12,6',

as shown .inliigure 1. The springs 16. have i longitudinal slots 2f? `adapted to permit the -i'emovatof.' the springs from the position,

Lvproportionate part; torjt'esting or other purposes.` 1 `75 interposed :between the -neck shown in Figure 1, when the springs are grasped and turned until the longitudinal slot 27 extends in the same direction as the longitudinal head 26. y

-Ther device provides a means for accurately measuring a certain'4 proportionate part l01E `the total quantityof milk, and for segregating auch accurately determined I @lahm-'fui'.f1,"-. iV ,Y T1 v1. sample taker ,comprising a hollow body portion having a tube extending ranged to bearonthe endof thetube, said `disc having a Aperforationarranged:to registerk `with Vthe tube Vfor" admitting iui-d' therein and having other perforationsrfiior admitting 'fluid into `the body fporti'on, kan;
